I had my first GCSF injection yesterday (11pm at night) and since then my face has been quite flushed. DH noticed it at 1am and I’m still like it this morning. I look like I’ve been on the booze!
Anyone else had this? how long did it last for?
Hi yes it gave me a positive glow, everyone said I looked so well, the downside the day after i could hardly walk due to muscle aches…
Fingers crossed you dont get this SE.

How long did the positive glow last for? I look more like I’ve had 10 pints. the only thing I’ve had 10 pints of is water!
Thanks for the heads up on the chemo thread too.
Hi pennies.
I had the injections with all of my chemos and had the red face for about 12 hours after each one. It will go!!

I found I had aches in my neck and jaw for about 48 hours after Neulasta jabs.
Hi,
I had GCSF injections after each chemo too as i was haveing accelerated chemo (every 2 weeks), i used to have the muscle aches also and always got flu like symptoms too.
